For the last 3 days my dog (yorkie 1year) has not eaten but is drinking allot. We have tried chicken with dog food, chicken, cheese,meats and pork. Please help.

Time to book her in to see the vet if she is not eating for 3 days now. If she were older I would guess at diabetes, kidney disease and other age related diseases.
Take note of other things also, bowel movements, attitude, activity.
With little information to go on, it is difficult to say, and diabetes and kidney disease are not unheard of in younger dogs.
Of course it could be any number of things, I think a visit to her vet is in her best interest.
Good Luck and I wish you the best

Thanks a lot ladysam for the advice. We found out last night that he just wants his food in smaller chunks. That saved us a $75 vet fee! If anything else occurs I will take him to the vets. Thank you soooooooo much again.

I really don't want to worry you, but a dog that doesn't eat for 3 days just because he wants his food in smaller chunks, doesn't make sense to me. Especially since you tried rice and chicken and that didn't work. Rice is about as small as it gets. When a dog is healthy, it doesn't turn down food. I've had dogs that will swallow things whole, not even chew.
I really would encourage you to have him checked out by a vet anyway, just to make sure.
